Breastfeeding issues can arise for even the seasoned parent. Jasna provides breastfeeding support using the Gestalt breastfeeding approach.

Gestalt breastfeeding helps with:

• Nipple damage or pain

• Difficulty latching onto the breast

• Fussing and pulling off the breast

• Back-arching at the breast

• Marathon feeds

• Excessively frequent breastfeeds

• ‘Windy’ behaviour during or after breastfeeds

• Poor weight gain*

 

Gestalt breastfeeding integrates the theoretical frames of complexity science and physiologic breastfeeding initiation (Schafer & Watson Genna, 2015) with new understandings of the biomechanics of infant suck elucidated in ultrasound studies (Douglas & Geddes, 2017; Geddes & Sakalidis, 2016)
